After not appearing in a game since 2007, Foster played in 10 last season, starting one at right tackle. His chances of making the team took a hit when the Rams agreed to a restructured contract with OG Jacob Bell in late July. It certainly didn't help that Foster was owed a $1.2 million base salary.

Rams RT Renardo Foster is expected to start Sunday in Week 8 against Carolina in place of injured starter Jason Smith (concussion).

Foster will likely face a pass-rush from a mix of Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy on Sunday, but his primary task will be to block the way for Steven Jackson, who is expected to be active. Foster is an unheralded backup, but he draws a nice first start against Carolina. Sat, Oct 30, 2010 08:20:00 AM

Foster will likely face a pass-rush from a mix of Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy on Sunday, but his primary task will be to block the way for Steven Jackson, who is expected to be active. Foster is an unheralded backup, but he draws a nice first start against Carolina.

Foster spent all of 2008 on the PUP list, but did start two games for Bobby Petrino as an undrafted rookie the previous season. Still, he had little to hang his hat on under a new front office while coming off a torn ACL.

This is the second season ending injury Atlanta has suffered at the left tackle position, and leaves untested sophomore Quinn Ojinnaka to take over. It's more bad news for Joey Harrington, and maybe Chris Redman eventually. Foster showed some promise in two starts as an undrafted rookie, but may have a hard time securing a roster spot in 2008 coming off a serious injury.

Renardo Foster is expected to undergo an MRI Monday after leaving Sunday's game with a knee injury.

Foster was filling in for Wayne Gandy, who was lost for the season with a knee injury. The combination of Joey Harrington at quarterback and a third-string left tackle protecting his blind side could be disastrous.

Rookie Renardo Foster has taken over as the Falcons’ starting left tackle.

Unheralded and subsequently undrafted out of Louisville, he faces a daunting task in protecting Joey Harrington, and presumably Byron Leftwich’s blindside down the line. First up for Foster: Osi Umenyiora on Monday night.

Coach Jeff Fisher said Friday the Rams are "very, very encouraged" with Todd Gurley's (ACL) recovery, but acknowledged Gurley is "not 100 percent" or ready to play in football games.

"Todd did a great job on the conditioning test," Fisher said. "He's not 100 percent. He's not ready to play in a game right now. ... We'll just kind of add things as we move forward." Gurley has been limited to individual drills so far in training camp. We might see him play in the third preseason game.
